Do me! And, if it's not too much to ask, the members of the Vulpine Order of Merit whom you haven't already done or are going to do (Jet Cash, achow101, gmaxwell, and o_e_l_e_o). I'm interested to know if my high expectations for the Order are justified.

@LoyceV can you list the users who awarded the most number of merits for the deleted posts?

No, unfortunately I can't. That would require scraping all posts from all merited users.

Btw why you specifically chosen Alex_Sr for your list in the OP? Is he the member who has the most merits for the post that are now deleted?

I took him as an example because I remembered his name. He's one of the users who received a lot of Merit from xandry, who used to give Merit for reporting spam or plagiarism (I don't remember exactly), which was deleted after taking Mod action on the offenders. There's a thread about it somewhere, and he stopped doing this. It's not necessarily abuse, but it was debated and made a nice example of a user with many deleted posts. See xandry's full Merit history for a long list of Merit sent to posts that are now deleted.

I'm somewhat confused to understand whether this number is positive indicator or negative indicator when comparing stats Huh

It depends on the reason the posts were deleted. In general, I don't think it's a good thing. But it also depends on the board, I can imagine some good posts disappeared when the entire thread was trashed. Or posted on a board that I can't scrape.
